Matt LeBlanc Says A Friends Reunion Would Be Lame

During a Monday appearance on Steve, Matt LeBlanc was asked by Steve Harvey whether fans would ever get a reboot of Friends. “Like, old Friends?” an unimpressed LeBlanc replied. “Personally, I don’t think so. I’ve talked to the writers about it. That show was a very finite period in your life, between 20 and 30, when you’re out of school but your life hadn’t really started yet and your friends are your family, and you’re kind of finding your way. When that period is over, it’s over. All the characters have gone their separate ways.” He added, “I always have this standard go-to joke when people say, ‘We want to see what Joey’s doing now.’ Nobody wants to see Joey get his colonoscopy! Nobody wants to see that.”

LeBlanc also opened up about why Friends is still watched regularly. “I think one of the reasons it’s still so relevant is we never dealt with anything topical, you know?” he mused. “Nothing political, no current events. It always themes like love, trust, betrayal, friendship and family. Things that never go out.”
